Hi guys .. im back again with another windows prob.....

The Group Policy client-side security extension was passed flags (17) and return a failure status code of (3).
- Security policy cannot be propagated. Cannot access the template. Error code = 3.

Windows 2000 or 2003?

Do you have the DFS and File Replication Service running?

Also, check out this MS KB Article. It looks like it addresses your exact problem:

support.microsoft.com/?kbid=258296

Here is another KB article that directly relates to the DFS client. This too could be your issue:

Also, depending on what other events are showing up in your logs, this could be it too:
